Both IP address emerged shortly after the sock master received a warning for vandalism. He makes the similar edits and has similar spelling for example the sock master made an edit with the justification "correcting grammer" and after this was reverted the IP made a similar edit with the same justification within a couple hours of the first.

 * Warned user. This behavior warrants a block but enough time has passed since the report that a block for a reasonable duration made in a timely manner for this first-time offender would have expired already, making it punitive. I wanted to use a stronger warning than uw-agf-sock but uw-sockwarn would be factually incorrect. Closing. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 06:19, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
